[General Discussion] Games that are supposed to be really good but you hate

METROID PRIME: HUNTERS

I said it. It took forever for it's release since the demo was launched with the phat DS, and I still wasn't impressed. The DS simply cannot handle 3D games very well. I still gave it a shot but I just can't enjoy it, even though the controls for aiming are probably better than an xbox or PS2 controller.

People don't seem to understand that in first person shooters, YOU CAN'T SEE YOUR MOTHERFUCKING FEET. Whoever invented the jumping games where you need to climb up some half broken spiral staircase in Metroid Hunters needs to be shot, and shot again.

I'm not even going to bother with wifi for this game, but once I eventually do get it, all the time will be spent on something I can actually improve on. Like Tetris.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Agreed. I never completed Majora's Mask, but I'm personally seeking the game out (probably the collector's version for gamecube) to do so. Ocarina of Time was great fun, that had atmosphere and a pretty solid feel, but people just don't like to see their favorite game have a sequel because their standards are so fucking high, they won't approve of it regardless if it's a good game.

Wait, does this guy actually think Capcom based SFIII off Alpha 3? The Alpha series are an entirely different take on Street Fighter. They're not supposed to be alike at all. Street Fighter III is actually quite in depth, with the parry system and characters like Remy, who feel like Guile with his moves. Or Necro feeling like Dhalsim. Or Hugo feeling like Zangief. I think this was done deliberate so people could relate with what their previously played characters in II were.

Guess what? It's Square alright, I've wasted 450 Mb of bandwidth on pure rubbish.

Yet when you go play it guess what? It play like crap, that checkpoint system is just plain stupid, the weapons upgrades are a snore and the controls are just downright confusing. But forget about this all, it has pretty graphics and Square brand stamped on the face.

Oh shit son, Square made a game that isn't an RPG. It must fail miserably and be glared apon because of this very reason.

First of all, Einhander certainly isn't the only shmup with 3D graphics. Most games don't even need 3D graphics to be good, but Einhander wouldn't feel the same. Secondly, the music was very fitting to the game. Unless you played this game back in the age of the PS1, it really isn't going to have the same feeling as it is today. The game didn't age well like other titles (like the original Soul Calibur, for example) but it was definitely one of those games that went under the radar during it's time.

Considering you downloaded it, I'll just assume you didn't play it during it's time.

I haven't played through Einhander to the finish, nor do I intend to, but it isn't a bad game. If you're going to judge a game based on the company it's made by, that's just retarded. Shut up and stop complaining about your 450mb CD-R.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
